How to Find a Lip Filler Expert

1. Do They Have the Right Training?

Finding someone who has completed all the necessary training for administering lip fillers is essential. The specialist should have at least a medical degree (MD or DO) and have certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is wise to schedule an initial consultation so that you can ask a provider about their experience with lip fillers and other cosmetic procedures.

2. Do They Focus on Patient Safety?

Safety comes first! An excellent way to understand whether a provider prioritizes patient safety is by looking at online reviews. If they have enough negative reviews or people complaining about their work, take it as a sign to go elsewhere. A reputable provider uses proper tools and follows recent techniques when performing lip fillers on patients. This ensures natural, long-lasting results.

3. How Are the Results of Their Patients?

After narrowing down your list of candidates, it’s time to ask for before and after photos. These can speak volumes about a provider’s work. You can clearly understand what to expect by looking at past patients’ results. If a provider is hesitant or unwilling to share transformation photos, it may be a red flag. In addition to before and afters, you can ask for references from other clients who got lip fillers from the practitioner you are considering.

4. How Does Their Staff Treat Patients?

Excellent customer service goes a long way to ensuring an overall positive experience. It can be nerve-wracking if you are getting lip fillers for the first time. A skilled cosmetic surgeon will:

•  Walk you through the procedure
•  Answer your questions
•  Put your concerns to rest
•  Do everything it takes to provide the best care

5. Does the Doctor Have a Good Reputation?

A fantastic way to measure a doctor’s reputation is by looking at reviews and testimonials. Check out their Google and Yelp reviews and see if they match up to their website’s testimonials.

Bonus: Find lip filler before and after photos uploaded by patients demonstrating the provider’s work.
